Rose Weekend at Elizabeth Park

Annual festival draws thousands to the world-famous garden.

Photographers, families and those who just admire roses crowded through the archways and around the gardens at Elizabeth Park this weekend for the annual Rose Festival.

Elizabeth Park has the oldest municipally operated rose garden in the United States. Throughout June, more than 800 varieties of roses can be seen on trellises and in beds throughout the 2 1/2-acre garden.
